Hello. I have been following Kasper for years, and as a young junior runner in the last years his grandfather was competing at a high elite level I was happy as a young junior running as an apprentice on his team in relays as 10-mila and other relays in the mid 1970thies. I have been happy to follow Kasper as a supporter since his granfather Per told me about Kaspers nice behaviour when they travelled around at O- events in Europe when Kasper still was a boy-runner. Kasper have my respect as a nice and caring man in addition to being worlds best O-runner. But because I was disabled after a vaccine I can only follow Kasper in all his television sent events. I would like to tell that I also admire Per in his way of following Kasper from he was a young boy, and Kasper has got the same highest level of orienteerings technic as Per was well known for in his best years in the elite, and in addition Kasper is at the highest level in running. Best Regards from Arne G in Norway

How do you account for declination with a thumb compass? Can’t find the answer anywhere! Thank you!

I already used Livelox regularly, but this video made me a premium subscriber.

Great interview!

Hello! I love your videos and I am going to start orientering this year. Can you make a video on gear, specifically compasses if you can (The types, with degree bezels or no bezel at all)?

We usually have a lot of features at our events...and compass is rarely required...that being said...our features can be very low key, almost undetectable especially if running...

This was a great listen. These long interviews might not be the most popular, but for those interested, they definitely are diamonds.

One thing I would like to say that has helped me a little bit, is watching videos of competitors in the various types of events. That has been accomplished through the use of the tracking apps that can follow along with helping runners choose the route they do to the various controls. Also I have found that in my limited amount of hanging out with my local run club, it has helped me to increase my speed a little bit up in the woods.

6:19 “made my red light bulb come on”...LOL we would say “threw up a red flag”... Great videos...but can I say that I do not know your name...can you introduce yourself? I will sub anyway...and Per Proze Dva pivo...

Just finished my first event. Your tips came in really handy. I made a list and had everything sorted and packed the night before so the morning went smoothly. I planned on not making mistakes, but still made a few and learned from them. Checked my compass often. Took a back up compass. I actually dropped my compass 3 or 4 times during the event. Found all the 14 controls in the woods, and your videos were a big help. I'll be back to do it again next event.

I have my first event coming up in 4 days. I registered for the event 11 days before the event, and really didn't have much time to prepare. I also got a little overconfident and registered for the orange course. LOL. But your videos have been super helpful in reducing my anxiety level and helping me focus on the right priorities, Thanks so much!

The race analyses/map moving and rotating was less jumpy and therefore easier to follow. Lots of post race insights by Tom on the newer knock-out sprint format. He knows his stuff.

I used the show transcript feature for the first time. A nice feature. The race analyses is alway great to hear and see.

This was very informative. I would love a video on some drills and good ways to practice

Is a good option to run faster and take more risks on the leg until you hit an obvious feature (like cross a path), and then slow down and be more careful?

Ruslan is a living O-God

Thanks for this interview. It so so nice to hear one of the top athletes story, not only getting medals but also about hard times. And it is so cool you included race analyse. Was so interesting to hear what Ruslan Glebovs perspective on his own race.

any thanks for the work you have done so far. very interesting summary for the various topics discussed.

Thanks for all the videos so far and for the future. They been really helpful to me learning and improving

Many thanks for all your work all this year. Your video 're so interesting that I didn't seen the time pass. Hervé

It looks so nice. A very relax atmosphere. If one year this event 'll be organize in France, I'll come Hervé🤩

Bardzo fajny kanał, keep on going. Mnie się najbardziej podobają fragmenty, gdzie jest analiza postartowa i z czego wynikaly błędy. Mogloby być wiecej takich treści, a nie koniecznie wywiadów.

Thank you very much for all the work you do with the channel! Don't worry about having a less regular video schedule. Actually there is a lot of comtent from the past which I didn't manage to watch yet, and I am sure others as well :)

Thanks for your time and effort over the last year. Your channel is probably the best source of orienteering content that I've found on KZbin. The videos are excellently made and a real resource. Just thinking out loud here but what about inviting other orienteering coaches on to discuss specific topics or just their approach to coaching. And maybe through the coaches more access to athletes. I have a couple friends coaching at national junior level. Happy to make the introduction if that sounds like something you'd be interested in.

Great Interview! Thanks for the effort that goes into these videos!

Found your channel recently, very nice content. Thank you.

Hi, Tom. Congrats for this video. It was a pleasure to meet you. We´ve talked a little when you were doing a warm-up. As you realized, everybody there wants to compete for longer, and healthy. Hope to see you in others WMOC. Cheers from Brazil.

Muchas gracias! estuve en el WMOC por primera vez y me pareció fabuloso. Un saludo desde Argentina

Perfect. Thank you for that. I was there also I have the same feeling from this competition as most of runners - perfect people, perfect terrains, perfect organization 🙂

Oh dear I have terrible endurance so id just rely on having a good sense of direction but ive had some stinkers: First there was an error and they placed some water where the point should be and vice versa. I was lost and 1 km away from it!!!!!!!!!! In a jagged rocky terrain. Cost me 51min..i would have done it in 40 min if it wasnt for that.. Another was someone having the great idea to zig zag through a valley with a "shallow stream"....shallow my arse ahah got down to my knees. The other side of the hill had tall grass in an incline so if there are rocks, hole...oh well. Of course tripped and did a 180+ degree turn and then gall on my back on a.rock.... At the end of that one people were piiiiiissed 😂 I got chased by chicken, had to pass by a group of cows and.bulls ( of course i just walked and did not look at them), had to take shelter in a ambulance with the emts due to a sudden.hail storm. Some people got bruises on their arms back forehead) , was filmed nfor a.promotional video finding the wrong point....tbf i do miss it but if i was to do it it would be in the ones open to general public as well. Lets say i dont have the same body i had as a 15yo 😂😅

Loved it. So many active seniors.

The BEST. Thank you.

A brilliant film, thanks!

I totally agree, they're several way to explore meditation. In my case, sometimes going running without goal and simply enjoy the place I'm in is at least as beneficial as lying with your eyes closed. Very interesting video, thank you.

Better than a filler video! I liked how you used Hannah’s and yours firsthand experiences as a springboard to shape the start of the talk and then support the topic.

Thanks for this video!

I like the idea of this analysis but it's pretty choppy as in the map is moving around too much at times to focus on the route choice. I think it video and analysis could be better if there was more of plan of which legs to focus on as well as which route choices to compare, etc. Overall I think Feri and you have much to offer but I don't think I got out as much analysis as I would have liked to.

Which books do you recommend to read about the vege-transformation your diet?

Fer finally on the channel!!!

Ja zgubiłam na pierwszych treningowych zawodach, bez kompasu poszło sprawniej, mniej czasu patrzyłam na niego a więcej na charakterystyczne elementy terenu. Pierwszy był płytkowy za kilka zł. Był pretekst żeby kupić fajniejszy kciukowy :)

I'm running (or, more often, walking) without a compass all the time (because, doing those events only for fun and some extra training for TrailO, I don't need to take care of having proper compass habits). I'm taking it with myself (as I learned that sometimes, especially in some crazy rocky terrain, you can get lost so much that you need to check which way is north), but most times it stays in my pocket for the whole race. It started accidentally - I left my compass in the car and decided that I'm too lazy to go back and get it, and after the race (which was a training event where I had most paths removed from the map for a bit of extra difficulty) decided that it was great fun and it has forced me to read a lot of additional details from the map, so next day I did not use my compass and I never started using it again - it's been around 3 years now.

Hi

Thanks a lot for really quality content❤

I usually don't know what to look for if on the map is small circle or X (green or black or bonze), and I wonder if the thing I found might be it. (When and where are your camps? please put me in "lottery machine")

Have you ever experienced some kind of brain fog or blackout during the start of relay race? I did. and I screwed the race for my team. Any methods to deal with it?

Great video! Thank you very much for making this video, really. Just one day before JWOC, it will help me stay more calm and perform better on this week. Thanks!

Bravo, Man! Great conversation! Hope many to understand your words! Sure, than they would be inspired! Good luck!

Thank you for sharing your experience, that's very interresting!! I'm doing nearly the same when I'm training with my 13 years old soon . This is his 2nd year in orienteering and each time we're talking about training I can see stars in his eyes. Last week-end, we run togheter a raid with 9km on a urban orientation race followed by 11 km of mountain bike orientation, pure joy!!! I let him the map for the urban race and and on arrival we were 3rd. Hervé

I use livelox all the time. P:S I have been a subscriber for three years.

Amazing interview, enjoyed it every minute. Thank you for opportunity to get to know Sara and have better look at her daily sports life. And of course thank you Sara for sharing.
